BumpMe!

It just so happens MissBumpMe! and I will be in the HNL United Club in evening of July 4th. We're curious if any of the club's windows face east toward Waikiki, so as to perhaps score a glimpse of the Ala Moana fireworks prior to our long haul home.

Any input is appreciated.
Thanks!

No. It faces away. However, you can go outside and take a look.

the lounge is located on the airplane side of the four jets in the center of this photo:

If you zoom out, you will see it faces away from Wakiki. However, if you head toward the Wiki Wiki bus upstairs, you should be able to get a fine view. It will be pretty small from that distance.

BumpMe!

...partial bummer.
Thanks, Billy.

Yes, you can easily go outside of the club and get a great view - it only takes a minute.

BumpMe!

Thanks, mdtakamine.

you can see diamond head, so I would think you could see fireworks

It's Hawaii, so you'll be able to see fireworks (and hear them) pretty much everywhere.

BumpMe!

Oh, really!?!?!
Thanks, poverty.jet.set.

Fireworks are better with a little liquid fermentation.
(As are long haul flights, no?)

The views out of the club windows face south / southwest (there is a curve to the concourse). That gives you some really great sunset views in the winter prior to the evening red-eye take-offs. But just walk out the front door of the club and look out over the windows looking the opposite way - directly east (which is what you need). You aren't that close; it will be a distant view, but you should be able to see them.

As an aside, there are fireworks over Waikiki every Friday at 7:45. One of the most amazing views to be had of them (aside from the 30th floor of the rainbow tower at the HHV) is from the left window seats of a departing flight.

Hi, we're headed to HNL on AS in August.

We're flying first class (from San Jose, CA) but I understand there are no AS lounges at HNL and I'm considering using the UA lounge at HNL prior to our flight back to CA.

I have some UA club passes (provided through the Chase Explorer CC) that I could use.

From what I understand, you don't have to be flying on a UA (or *A) flight in order to use the lounge. (hopefully true, or there's no point to my post)

Can someone tell me how far the UA lounge is from the AS gates/terminal at HNL?

I looked at a map, but it's hard to tell how far that really is distance wise (we'll have 2 kids in strollers, so also need to factor if there are stairs or escalators/elevators)

Since we do check in quite early for our flights because we have the kids, it would be nice to relax in a lounge before our flight.

But not if it involves a big walk/trek from the AS check in area to the UA lounge and then back to the AS gate.

Thanks.

No more than a 10 minute stroll. You do not need to be flying UA to use passes.

I saw a couple of years back from UC. You'll have to be near the window and look to the very left.
